In court today, Ruban, accused of arms trafficking and plotting assassinations of Ukraine's leadership, says he was merely the driver of the vehicle where the weapons were found; it belongs to someone else.

Ruban: I know Valery Shashkin, who belongs to the organization "Battalion fraternity". Also Oleg Mezintsev was assistant to MP Savchenko. I do not know the other. But I understand that I know some others under other names (about other members of ring accused in plot)

"We're not progressing because our interest there is to resolve this conflict" says @US_EUCOM Commander Gen Curtis Scaparrotti when asked if US with Ukraine is winning or losing vs Russia in Ukraine "We're more or less at a stalemate"
